List files modified during last 5 minutes:
find /some/path/ -type f -mmin -5 -execdir ls -l {} \;
Find files bigger than 2 kilobytes in .mc/ directory:
find .mc/ -type f -size +2000c .mc/ini
or:
find .mc/ -type f -size +2k .mc/ini
Find files smaller than 80 bytes in .mc/ directory:
vn ~ # find .mc/ -type f -size -80c .mc/Tree .mc/cedit/cooledit.clip
Handy one-liner for searching a file with wildcard, case-insensitive, in 2 directories simultaneously (assuming the file contains ‘Yutong’):
srv ~ # find /storage/sounds/{cars,ru/cars} -iname yut\*
/storage/sounds/cars/Yutong.wav
/storage/sounds/ru/cars/Yutong.wav
Find files with “+380” in their name which were created on October 13, 2015 and copy them to /home/lexus/:
